Chemical compound
Cellulose diacetate
, sometimes called diacetate, is a
synthetic polymer
made by treating
cellulose
with
acetic acid
. It consists of two
acetyl
functional groups
on each unit of
D-anhydroglucopyranose
of the cellulose molecule. It was first developed in the
United States
.
It is fragile since it is based on cellulose. When cellulose diacetate deteriorates, it shrinks and releases acetic acid causing
vinegar syndrome
.
Cellulose diacetate has been used to make fabrics, membranes, filaments, and many consumer products. From 1922 to 1957 it was used to make
film stock
, mainly in smaller formats such as
8 mm
,
16 mm
,
35 mm
, and
70 mm
. It has also been used in seed coating applications.

In photography, a film substrate made from cellulose diacetate is called
safety film.
Cellulose diacetate is
hydrophilic
[2]
and
biodegradable
.
